The Los Angeles Lakers have battled with injuries this season and this week was not any different. The Lakers have gone 1-2 in the last week, but have lost seven consecutive games at the Staples Center. All-Star weekend might be the best thing to happen for the Lakers, hopefully the rest will allow them to get somewhat healthy. While it might be a tough time to be a Laker fan, you cannot question their effort.
10. It was his birthday, he deserved it.
Steve Nash had 19 points, 5 assists and 4 boards tonight in Lakers win. It was his 40th birthday. Good to see Nash back on the court again!

7. This is what an injured team looks like.
Yep! ITS SAD RT @LakersNation: There are more dudes in suits on the Laker bench than in uniform. Good grief pic.twitter.com/PZVwa5QDRw

What do Ludacris and the @Lakers have in common? They're both coming for that number one spot! @LakersNation

5. Moral victories.
I'm not even mad that the @Lakers lost I'm proud to say my team with all the injuries keep fighting when most teams give up @LakersNation

4. Thinking ahead.
@LakersNation Yeah, I want the Lakers to play in close, exciting games, but lose.

3. It has gotten that bad?
This Lakers-Jazz game feels more suited to Ontario in October than Staples Center in February.

2. He has got a point.
Time to remove "tanking" as a term associated with the Lakers. They're losing because they're bad, not because they're trying to.

1. It will get better Laker fans.
@LakersNation But it'll be sooooo sweet in a couple of years. #inmitchwetrust
